MYSQL/ PHP Help

Hi Everyone,

I have had some experience with PHP and MYSQL, but I am still very new and have a lot of learning to do. I am trying to write a program that will do the following:

The user will sign in/ register, then be brought to their homepage. Once they get to their homepage, they can see their existing project and edit that information, or they can add a new project. All the project page will have is information that they will fill out. Each project page will have their own URL.

I am having trouble as to where to start, especially setting up MYSQL databases. I was wondering how I should go about setting up the "Project" page in a database, and how to link it to the original account.

Well, I think you should start out looking at a few login scripts. That will help you setup that portion of the database / login functionality.

The second portion would be the projects. This may be divided up into an administrator section for those users who can access a page that allows them to add / assign projects to specific people etc versus a basic user who can add notes.

Honestly, this is a pretty big project for someone pretty new to PHP / MySQL. Maybe you might want to look into a CMS with a plugin for something like this? Just a suggestion
